Their eyes fixed on her, and the weight of their stares made her skin prickle with discomfort.Logan's eyes reddened."I'll find proof that you cheated!" He spoke through clenched teeth and shook the dice with stiff, mechanical movements.Dominic shook his head. "Your chips aren't enough."Logan froze. Only then did he remember that the round had not yet been settled. He quickly counted the remaining chips and realized they fell far short of covering the loss.He slumped into his chair, his body going limp.Without realizing it, he had lost more than 300,000,000 dollars. Although he had personally put up about 200,000,000, the amount still exceeded what he could bear.'200,000,000 dollars…' The thought alone made him nearly faint.The Pierces could not compare to the Hughes or the Grants in Skyline City, much less the wealthiest family, the Garcias. 200,000,000 dollars in cash would almost drain the Pierces' liquidity,
The joy that had just lit Logan's face vanished in an instant.Jade had not expected her husband to embarrass her in public. She gritted her teeth, stepped forward, and said, "Honey, about this matter—""Is this a place for you to speak?" Stephen cut in, his voice cold. "Go back inside."Jade's expression shifted. She tried to speak again, but Sully Garcia murmured beside her, "My dear sister-in-law, please don't say anything for now."Only then did Stephen turn to Dominic with a faint smile. "Play without worry."Dominic tilted his head, glanced at him, and nodded calmly.He could not tell whether the two men were putting on a show. Stephen had arrived at neither an early nor a late moment, but precisely at this critical point. The timing was hard to ignore.Logan stared at the chips on the table, cold sweat soaking his back. If he admitted to cheating, he would lose more than 100,000,000 dollars. He could afford the loss, but once his father returned from abroad, the explanati
In just three rounds, Dominic's chips rose from 20,000 dollars to 160,000 dollars.For most gamblers, winning three consecutive rounds was a fantasy. He had done it with effortless ease.Logan froze for a moment, then sneered, "What a pity. If you'd brought more chips, you could have won even more."To him, just over a million dollars meant almost nothing.Dominic gave him a cool look. "Enough talk. Shake."The fourth round began. Then the fifth. Then the sixth.Dominic won all three.His stack of chips climbed to 1,280,000 dollars.By the seventh round, Logan hesitated for a long while before making a move.Disbelief clouded his eyes as he ground his teeth. "Your luck is really that good?"Dominic smiled. "Is there a problem?"That smile made Logan's heart pound. Ten million dollars was not a significant sum to him, yet an inexplicable pressure settled over his chest.By now, nearly every guest had gathered to watch. Six consecutive wins were rare in any gambling hall. The
A sly look flashed in Logan's eyes. "Mr. Fleming, we can play, but let's switch games."Dominic regarded him calmly. "What do you want to play?"Logan smiled. "Dice. I'll be the banker."He held only 20,000 dollars in chips. Betting big or small with dice was the fastest, and riskiest, way to turn a modest stake into something substantial.Dominic nodded. "No problem."Jewel caught his arm, worry flickering across her face.Dominic patted her shoulder to reassure her.A server soon arrived with a dice cup and set it in front of Logan.Dominic stepped forward and placed his hand lightly on the cup.Logan frowned. "What are you doing?""Checking it." Dominic's gaze swept over Jade as he added evenly, "Since we're playing dice here, who knows whether this thing has some kind of mechanism."Jade's expression darkened at once. She understood the implication. Dominic was openly questioning the fairness of the game.Several guests glanced at her, their looks edged with quiet scrut
Jewel pushed through the crowd and snapped, "Jade Wright! How can you be so shameless?"Moments earlier, she had seen Dominic and Autumn holding hands. The sight had soured her mood, so she had stepped outside for air. She had not expected to return to a scene like this.Rage burned through her. She addressed her sister by name without hesitation.Jade's expression hardened. "Is that how you speak to me?"Jewel strode to Dominic's side and clenched her jaw. "You've gone too far. This is bullying."When Dominic saw her, he let out a quiet laugh. "What are you doing here?"Jewel stared at him in disbelief. "You're being bullied like this and you can still laugh?""It's nothing," Dominic replied, his tone casual.Standing beside him, Lydia sighed. "Eye-opening. Truly eye-opening. I never expected wealthy families to be this filthy."Irritation flashed across Jade's face. She waved a hand and spoke coldly. "Enough. My daughter's birthday party is about to begin. I don't have time
Jade maintained her faint smile. "What do you mean by twisting black and white? I only know that when you're willing to gamble, you must accept the loss."The onlookers stood stunned. One by one, their gazes shifted toward Jade, each expression tinged with unease.Dominic pointed at the tabletop. "I'll accept the loss if it's fair. But he cheated. Ms. Wright, are you really going to back someone like that?"Logan had thought he was finished. He had not expected the situation to reverse. When Jade stepped forward to speak on his behalf, excitement surged through him."Cheated? Do you have any evidence?" he shot back. "You lost this hand. You're not going to deny it, are you?"No one had expected events to unfold this way.Lucas could not hold back. "Aunt Jade, about this matter—"Jade cut him off with a dismissive wave before he could finish. "Lucas, don't speak. Just watch."Lucas frowned but said nothing more.Jade turned to Dominic. Her voice remained calm, edged with faint
